Show what's hidden
On our Data Center model, the center of the roof lifts off and lighting identifies data streams, server locations and underground fuel tanks that no tour can show. On the Westinghouse eVinci microreactor model, a roughly 1:7 cutaway exposes internal components, separated by color.
Show how it works
Scientific Drilling's MagTraC model is a circular display with drilling scenes around its sides; lighting traces signals moving through the ground to a receiving tower. Between shows, it sits in the company's lobby.
Show it where the equipment can't go
CWMF's portable silo system model, 1:20 and about 3.5 feet long, goes to trade shows the real equipment can't. The U.S. Coast Guard uses a waterfront facility model as a shared reference in training classes.
Build for one audience and one story
Investors, customers, the public and trainees each need something different. We plan the cutaways, lighting and removable parts around what that audience must understand, and simplify the rest. For campuses, see data center models; for reactors and solar, see energy and nuclear models.
What it costs
Each project receives a fixed-cost proposal after we understand its scope. Cost factors include model size and scale, the number and uniqueness of components, internal detail, cutaways, materials and working features. We also account for the schedule, shipping and installation where applicable. See what a custom scale model costs.
Common questions
How can a model explain a complex system?
By making hidden parts visible, using cutaways, lift-off sections and lighting that traces how the system works.
Can a model show signals, power or data flow?
Yes. Programmed lighting can trace data streams, signals or power paths, as on our Data Center and MagTraC models.
Can engineering models travel to trade shows?
Yes. We design for travel with durable parts, cases and quick setup.
